"Well, at least I figured out how to spell it.  The mom is stabilizing but
taking the following medications.  Are any of these contraindicated for
breastfeeding?
Dopamine
Morphine
Dobutamine
Cefoxitin
Hepron
Zantac"

The two that concern me are Dopamine and Dobutamine.  They inhibit
prolactin but have such a short half-life that I would think once she is
off of the drugs (probably when she is out of ICU), inhibition of prolactin
won't we a problem.  I've only worked with 3 or 4 of these patients in the
past 10 years.  She is going to need some intensive support in the
inpatient setting to start pumping once she is out of ICU.  Glad you are
able to help her!
